Bless all of you who make quilts for other people's children. The quilts are magical because of all the prayers and good wishes stitched into them.
I was Philadelphia Project Linus coordinator for 4 years. I have a whole scrapbook full of thank you notes from grateful moms and dads and grans.
Many quiltmakers wonder what happens to the quilts they donate and whether the kids even like them. In my experience, the kids love the bright colorful fun fabrics and are comforted by their soft quilts. But the families are especially touched by all the work and love that went into their child's quilt, from the hands of a perfect stranger.
Just know that you are making the world a warmer place for sick and traumatized kids, one stitch at a time!
